2. CAMERA/ DSLR
• I will be using a Canon DSLR camera in order to
take the images for my focal images within my
magazine production. The camera is easy to use
and understand and will create the best possible
image.
• I will be using manual mode on the camera
settings, as I want to be able to adjust the quality of
the images myself .
Tripod
To ensure that my images are crisp and clear, I will be
using a Tripod in order to prevent any shaking or blurs as a
result of man handling my camera.
The connotations of a crisp clean image would be that of
confidence and authority as it is deemed better than the
rest. This will appeal to both my target audience and my
secondary audience.
3. SOFT BOX
In order to create the best possible image, I will be
using internal professional lighting equipment. These
soft boxes and pattersons will brighten up my image /
models face and or body from all angles. This will
create an image with connotations of happiness and
joy as the model will be lit rather than shadowed.

4. GELS I will be using Filtered colours gels
with my photography equipment. This
will give my image and overall
magazine cover a sense of identity, as
it encourages the house genre with its
colourfully edge. The gels also make
the images look exciting and
interesting, they will appeal to my
target audience as they have
connotations of fun and passion.
Reflector
Reflectors will enable me to focus light onto a
specific area on my models face. By doing this it
will allow me to create the perfect image, creating
shadow where necessary and similarly with the use
of light. These reflectors will enable me to create
high key lighting, which has connotations of
happiness and life.
5. BEAUTY DISH
I will be using a beauty dish too direct light onto my
model. This will help me create my desired image as I
want to create a colourful scene that cannot be done
without the use of gels . These gels will be attached to the
light source on the beauty dish and will send the colourful
light all over the white screen.
6. WHITE SCREEN
I will be using a white screen on my set, to
ensure that my background it clean and
blank. Because I am using coloured gels ,
the use of a white screen will increase the
pigmentation and make the colours more
prominent. The white surface has
connotations of freshness and purity. These
connotations will appeal to my audience as
it is uncluttered and professional looking.
7. PHOTOSHOP
I will be using Photoshop to edit my images for my magazine.
This soft wear will allow me to brighten or darken my images
even more so than I have already done manually. I will also be
able to blur out certain aspects of the image if necessary- this
will ensure that my focal images are perfect and to a
professional standard. I will also be using Photoshop to create
my front cover, as it makes ordered pictures and text much
easier. It will help me to create my ideal front cover as I will
be able to adjust it to my personal desires
To create my double page spread, I will be using InDesign. This
soft wear is easy to use, and Is good for content that consists of
a lot of text which is why i will be using it for my article .
InDesign will allow me to create the best possible layout for my
magazine as I will be able to adjust the text to exactly how I
want it to look, for example the size of the columns and spaces
between each individual letter.

8. DAFONT
Dafont is a website designed in order to supply audiences
with every possible font. I will use Dafont when
choosing the fonts I want for my titles throughout my
magazine- such as mastheads and Cover lines. The fonts
available within Dafont range from basic block fonts to
loud bouncy expressive fonts. This will give me the
opportunity to explore what I feel will look the most
effective.

/EMAZE/YOUTUBE
• To present my ideas when researching I used a variety of
different websites in order to have a number of resources
contributing to my presentation on the blog . I found each of
them easy and enjoyable to use and work with and I feel that
the end result of each turned out well.
• YouTube especially is a platform which is used by many
corporations and business in order to market their products,
through advertisement and sponsorships. YouTube would be a
devise that I would use in order to promote my magazine as it
is below the line marketing and has been known to be a very
successful devise when it comes to advertising your products.
